Flask Boilerplate Project

Introduction

I wanted a super-quick way to create new websites with all my favorite code settings and customizations. Hence, I created this boilerplate project based on the Flask (Python) microwebframework.

Why Flask-Boilerplate? Because you get:

Good code defaults – for example, (1) it uses packages and modules by default so that controllers and models are organized into a standard directory structure and split into multiple files, (2) it merges and compresses your various CSS files into one, your multiple JS files into one, for performance reasons. And so on.

New Project script – sets up everything for you right from generating the secret key (for secure cookies) to integrating memcache (including mimicing Rails.cache.fetch with helpers).

Deploy to a Ubuntu server with a single command – sets up everything for you, including virtualenv, etc.
